L GAS IS A

DREAM KEHHEPOHL Says That All Rumors to This Effect Are Without Foundation.

According to B. A. Kennepohl, president . of the board of works, the chances for Richmond getting natural gas are no more material than a wild dream. Some time ago a man appeared in Richmond and made inquiries regarding a franchise for furnishing natural gas in this city. Many persons were expecting to have the natural gas piped into their homes should the statements of the man prove reliable. Some time ago Mr. Kennepohl learned from Cincinnati that no plans had been made such as the man represented to the. board. This was not ascertained, however, until the citizens of Richmond and the members of the board had waited, for many weeks for further news of the proposed plan for furnishing natural gas to .Richmond. The man claimed that he represented a large company in Cincinnati who proposed to extend a main from the natural gas wells in West Virginia, across the state of Ohio and into Richmond. At another time it was stated that the gas would be obtained from Cincinnati. It was rumored that a company would pipe gas which is a bi-product of the large coke ovens in and around Cincinnati, to this city. It is said that where gas is sold as a bi-product the price is as low as twenty-flve cents per thousand feet.

MULLEN'S MISTAKE.

thought Hs Recognized the Portrait, but Changed Hie Opinion. , Festus J. Wade, a St. Louis banker, had a friend, a police captain, who died. The friends of the dead policeman wanted to give the widow an appropriate memorial and subscribed enough money to have . a large oil portrait painted by. a local artist. The dead policeman's name was O'Brien. When the portrait was finished it was taken to the house of the widow and placed on exhibition. All who subscribed to the fund were Invited to come and" see it, and they assembled one night. The portrait was unveiled by the artist. " Half of those present said it was agood likeness and half said It was very poor. The dispute was warm.. Finally the artist, seeing his fee slipping away from him, as there seemed no basis of settlement as to the merits of the picture, suggested

HJT OXJT HIS HAND TO TOTTCH THE PICTURE, that a fire captain named Mullen, who

Mved near by and who was an intimate friend of O'Brien, should be calld In and the merit or demerit of the

picture left to him. Mullen came and was shown the pic

ture. "Who is itr asked the artist 'It O'Brien." said Mnllen. "By my faith..it's O'Brien! It's my old friend O'Brien." Mullen walked np and put out his hand to touch the picture. "Don't do that!" exclaimed the artist. "It s not dry." - "Not dry!" shouted Mullen. "Not dry, is it? Then, if it isn't dry it isn't O'Brien." Pittsburgh Press.

TROUBLES OF THE EAR.

Owen Weber was arrested by Sheriff Bayer upon a complaint by his step-father and .his mother that he was losing his mind and it was feared that he would do them some bodily harm if allowed to remain at their home at Olive Hill. During the month of January Weaver became despondent and attempted to commit suicide. His attempt was unsuccessful and he has been demented ever since. He has had hallucinations that his relatives were trying to poison him. He is now confined to the county jail from where he will probably be sent to Easthaven.

Origin of St. James' Palace. Henry VIII. when he built St James' palace designed it for a country residence to take the place of the manor of Lennington, where he had been in the habit of going for a change of air. He pulled down the hospital dedicated to St James the Less and on its site, as Holinshed tells us, "built a goodly manor and made a falre parke for his greater comoditie and pleasure." The palace stood in the midst of fields well stocked with game, and these were inclosed as its private demesne. Even while residing here Henry held his court first at Westminster and then at Whitehall after he had taken the latter palace from Wolsey. It was not until 1697, when Whitehall was destroyed by fire, that St James' palace became the London residence of monarchs. London Standard.

Many of Them Are Caused by Abuses of Some Kind. The best way to care for the ear Is to study the things not to do. It is one of the most Independent of organs, knowing very well how to take care of Itself. If it Is duly respected little trouble or none will result In cases where something unforeseen goes wrong a physician should be consulted at once. Almost all troubles of the ear are due to abuses of some kind. The wax seems to worry a great many people, and in their concern they usually manage to seriously interfere with Its functions. In the healthy ear the wax. or cerumen. Is a thin yellowish fluid that thickens Into a paste as It dries. Nature provides for its natural exit from the ear passage by uniting it with the tiny flakes of dead skin which fait outward unnoticed either by seeing or feeling. Thus wax does not accumulate in a healthy ear, which has just enough to make sticky the stiff little hairs that grow in the passage. Instruments should never be poked Into the ear by the Inexperienced nor wads of material continually mopped nd squeezed Into the opening for cleansing. Usually such treatment In duces an increase or caking of wax. Hot water is the best solvent for wax. 105 to 115 degrees F. If the need of it; Is imperative gently syringe the ear with it Cotton plugs in the ear aro oseful at times, but should be nsed no more than absolutely necessary, for they obstruct the canal and interfere with the natural way of casting off wax.

REPAIRS MADE AT THE HAWKINS POOL Plans For trie Opening of Bathing Pool Several Matches Arranged.

C. O. Parker, manager of the Hawkins bathing pool, stated today that extensive improvements have been planned in connection with the bathing pool for the coming season. General repairs will be made to the buildings about the place and the pool has been drained for the purpose of dragging the bottom to remove the possibility of aquatic growth during the bathing season. More lockers will be built. The slides, swings, diving board and other features will be rebuilt. All the board walks about the place have been repaired and several new ones constructed. It is expected that the facilities of the pool will accommodate almost twice as many as formerly. The store room for private suits belonging to persons who do not wish to take them home has been enlarged. Several swimming matches and tournaments will be conducted at times during the season to increase the interest in the sport. A large number of the regular patrons of the pool are expert swimmers and much competition is expected for the honors in these swimming matches.

You old people, Syrup of Figs is particularly for you. You who don't exercise as much as you need to; who like the easy chair. You whose steps are slow and whose muscles are less elastic. You must realize that your liver and ten yards of bowels have also become less active. Don't regard Syrup of Figs as physic. It stimulates the liver and bowels just as exercise would do it if you took enough of it. It is not harsh like salts or cathartics. The help which Syrup of Figs gives to a torpid liver and weak, sluggish bowels is harmless, natural and gentle. When eyes grow dim you help them. Do the same with your liver and bowels when age makes them less active. There is nothing more important. Costive, clogged-up bowels mean that decaying, fermenting food is clogged there and the pores or ducts in these thirty feet of bowels

suck this decaying waste and poisons into the blood. You will never get feeling right until this is corrected but do it gently. Don't have a bowel wash-day; don't use a bowel irritant. For your sake please use only gentle, effective Syrup of Figs. Then you are not drugging yourself, for Syrup of Figs is composed of only lucious figs, senna and aromatics which can not injure. A teaspoonful tonight will gently, but thoroughly, move on and out of your system by morning all the sour bile, poisonous, fermenting food and logged up waste matter without gripe, nausua or weakness. But get the genuine. Ask your druggist for the full name, "Sprup of Figs and Elixir of Senna." Refuse, wita contempt, any other Fig Syruit unless it bears the name preparea by the California Fig Syrup Company. Read the label.
